Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
All are useful interventions for a patient with schizophrenia; however, engaging the patient in specifically designed activities is the only option that addresses improving self-esteem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The presence of disorganization and inappropriate affect identifies this disorder as disor-ganized schizophrenia. The symptoms of residual schizophrenia have long periods of remis-sion. Schizoaffective disorder presents with severe mood disorders along with symptoms of schizophrenia. Paranoid schizophrenia is characterized by persecutory or grandiose delusions.
